Description
The Tangerine Die Cutting Machine is durable, long-lasting and, with all metal parts, it's nothing to be sniffed at.
We aim to give the best cut possible by using equal pressure across the roller; there won't be any weak pressure points. With this being made of all metal parts to try and avoid any wear and tear of the machine, it also comes as a bulky machine weighing just under 9kg.
In this set, you don't have to worry about buying additional plates or mats; the Tangerine Machine comes with everything you need, so you are ready to start crafting when you receive your machine. This is an A4 die-cutting machine, and all of our dies will fit through this machine without any issues.
Please refer to the Tangerine instruction leaflet for complete instructions on use, or check out our blog to learn how to cut like a pro here!
What's included with your die-cutting machine?
Each Machine comes with: A Handle, a Set of Instructions on Plate Combinations, Raspberry Coloured Embossing Folder Plate, a Green Colored Die Embossing Plate, a White Colored Top Plate, Orange Coloured Die Cutting Plate.

Top Tip:

A4 manual die cutting machine praised for "cuts beautifully" with intricate dies, often on first pass. Customers said plates are durable and don't warp like competitors. Smooth operation and solid construction, though heavy and requires effort with embossing folders. Some noted suction feet slip on polished surfaces. Highly recommended over electric machines.
Received my Tangerine after going on the wait list.
So excited to use it. I used every type of die and it cut beautifully.
The whole thing is solid and strong, along with the plates.
I used sizzix for years, and even those plates bent.
I absolutely love this Tangerine. Will serve me for years to come.
Great machine, easy to use, simple plates.
Been waiting for the tangerine to come back into stock for ages. I have a gemini but got fed up buying replacement plates and I must say the tangerine cuts just as well as the electronic one, its quieter and the plates are more durable. Love it!
Brought this bad boy of a machine 3 years ago and it still cuts intricate dies beautifully first pass through. i'm still using the original plates that came with the machine. The only thing i would ask for is a foiling system similar to spellbinders to go with the tangerine then my craft life would be complete. Please Tonic if you're reading these reviews.
A dream for die cutting intricate dies with, often only one pass through is necessary!
I love my Tintin…
Its sturdy,easy to use.best ever.would recommend highly.
I love everything about this die cutting machine. It cuts everything easily. The plates don't warp. It travels really well. I take it to a class everyone loves it. I would never use anything else. When I don't have mine with me or I help someone cutting using a different machine I am always wishing I have mine instead. You will not regret buying one of these.
Have put off buying for years but now i am so happy i did - the machine, although heavy, is so easy to use and die cuts perfectly every time. Thank you Tonic
Fantastic machine, best buy ever 👏
I wanted an A4 machine and this had very good reviews. I also liked the idea of the plates - reviews said they last a long time without warping - unlike some other machines. The small footprint is another bonus - I just don't have room for a bigshot plus.
It is brilliant at die cutting. Will cut 2 layers with a couple of passes, most dies (branded and Amazon) will cut first time.
I'm able to make bigger cards as it takes A4 paper, handy when making leaving cards for the team at work.
The only issue I have is with embossing, especially folders. I have to try different combinations of plates, and often have to use an extra shim or two in place of the proper plates. Perhaps Tonic embossing folders are different, but my Sizzix, press cut etc all require experimentation to find the combination which works. This is an issue with all machines though, as there are so many different folders all with different thickness.
Overall I'm very happy with my choice. I think it will last a long time and the plates should not need replacing as often as for other machines. Takes up little room and takes A4 paper (UK size). Good price point compared to other A4 machines. Would recommend.
Love how smoothly the Tangerine “runs”, So easy to set up. As it is A4 cutting plates you can quickly die cut a lot of pieces. Love that it is “foolproof” with with writing on the plates of which is the top plate, cutting plate etc. Have not used my other die cut machines since I bought the tangerine - only my little side kick, for small cuttings.
It’s cut brilliantly first time, even delicate dies except one which my electric machine couldn’t cut either so maybe a faulty die. I was concerned about going back to a manual machine but it’s so much simpler and easy to use from the plate arrangements to the easy handle turning. I love that it doesn’t buckle the paper or card even 300gsm. It’s the best cutting machine of the 6 I’ve had so far both manual and electric. Highly recommend it.
Easy and quick ordering and delivery. Not used yet.
I’ve been so impressed with the Tangerine, that this is my second purchase so that I have one in my craft room & one downstairs.
This is a very solid die cutting machine. The plates don’t warp, I’m on the same set I had with the original machine 3 years ago. I’ve had several brands & sizes of electric die cutting machines & in my opinion the Tangerine out performs them all.
I have heard so much about this machine, I had to have one, and it has not disappionted, fab little thing,
I just got this today! Feels really sturdy. All I have heard about this die cutting machine is good. So I am really happy to finally start crafting with this after all these years I've been waiting for re-stock.
Best manual machine I have ever bought. Thank you Tonic!!
It's neat, works like a dream.
This is a brilliant machine, the beat on the market above all the electric machines.
If you flip and rotate the plates they don't warp. Also smaller plates are available and they are brilliant.
The plates go through with easy and don't leave any dirty marks on your cardstock.
I've cut fabric, metal, acetate and a whole load more on mine.
I've had my Tangerine for about 6 years, while i have several sets of plates my original plates are still going strong.
The day I bought this machine I saved money! I had 3 electric die machines and the price to replace bent/warped plates almost came to the price of a Tangerine.
Highly recommend this machine, the pressure is absolutely spot on.
Thanks Tonic x
I am so so happy with this machine I wish I got it sooner. If there is ever an electric version I would buy without hesitation. The quality is superb and the plates stay flat ( crafting bliss)
Love my Tangerine!!! Cuts so well . It’s best machine i have had . Tried manual and and electric machines but this is the best by far..
I would recommend this machine to anyone
hjappy with my tonic machine thank you
Use this nearly every day
I’ve got a collection of die cutting machines, small - A4, manual & electric, but this is by far the best machine I’ve had EVER! I’ve had it 18 months now & it’s been used loads. I’ve had no issues with cutting dies, it copes with even the most intricate of dies & it doesn’t seem to matter where I place the dies on the plate, it always cuts cleanly on the first pass. I’m still using the plates that came with the machine, they’ve not buckled or anything. What I do after I’ve finished using it is to stack the plates on a flat surface & put the machine on top.
I just wish this was the first machine I bought, because I wouldn’t have wasted money on the others.
Die cuts brilliantly anywhere on the board, haven't tried embossing etc as yet but feel that won't be a problem, heavy solid machine, cutting boards feel like they will last much longer than the clear plates that soon bend and what I use with my other cutting machines. The only problem I have encountered is it moves about when I use it unless held firmly in it's place, the sucker feet don't grip on my polished wood surface, overall very happy with this bright Tangerine machine.
FANTASTIC
Haven’t received it yet so impossible to comment. I have contacted tonic 3 times to no avail.
This is definitely the best cutting machine I have ever owned. I’ve never had to run a die through more than twice to get a sharp cut and a professional finish
